re: Obama is moving faster and faster - how do we keep up? What can we do?

'Murica is fricked. Let the Balkanization of the country begin. And I am glad some of you are awakening to the fact that there is no difference between left and right. Both sides are completely owned by the money interests in this country and have been for 30 years.

The more time that passes, I'm slowly subscribing to the philosophy of many of you here - that the R's and D's are in fact one in the same. I think both sides benefit in one form or another when there is faux-outrage.....meanwhile they are probably having drinks after work

They are both spendthrifts and play the partisan political games to gain control of the taxing and spending.

Executive orders seem to be coming out more often; lawlessness on his part increasing; allowing and facilitating the invasion of the USA from the southern border; dismantling and mistreatment of our own military; more and more direct and in your face comments toward US citizens who disagree with him; punishment of states, organizations, and individuals using the Federal Government; further restrictions on energy use; continuous dividing and pitting Americans against each other; the list goes on - Republicans do nothing and have proven to be worthless.

Oh no!!! presidents are doing as they have always done, we are allowing immigration, reducing our standing military, allowing more direct and open debate, telling people to stop leaning on the federal gov't, reducing our dependence on foreign oil, and encouraging Americans to act like they always have.

This is our complaint?

Typical lying liberal

So we knew the most he could be President for was 8 years.

We're now almost 6 years in and I'll repeat my question:

How much worse off are we now than we were on January 21, 2009?

Are we still the same nation?

Unemployment/workforce participation?

I love how suddenly people are sooo worried about participation rate. Especially when unemployment goes down. I remember 5 months before the election the talk was ALL unemployment rate, as usual. Then when it dropped to 8.0% suddenly participation rate was a worry.

Obama still has two years - at the rate he and his government are going, where will we be as a nation come Jan 2016? Is it too late? This is all very frustrating when it seems there is nothing we can do to correct this mess.
